Understanding VR EQUIPMENT OPTIONS

You’ve heard of virtual reality, but what is it? At the most basic level, virtual reality is the use of a headset that allows the user to see a completely virtual, 360 environment. However, VR can take many forms. For example, some virtual reality experiences allow you to actually interact with your digital environment using motion-tracked controllers, while other experiences allow you to sit back and enjoy the experience without tracking your movements. For example, while in one experience you might be a NFL quarterback, using your own arm motion to throw a football, in another experience you might be riding in a hot air balloon, simply using your headset to look around at your new landscape. In essence, virtual reality can be anything you want it to be, and we have access to thousands of VR experiences to make sure we can make it exactly what you want.

We offer two types of VR technology for event, one being room scale VR, and the other being 360 VR. The following sections will tell you everything you need to know about both, and help you decide which type is right for your next event.

What Is Room Scale VR?

Room Scale VR is the most immersive virtual reality activation available. This is because Room Scale VR allows guests to interact with objects in their virtual world. If you see something in front of you in Room Scale VR, don’t be afraid! Reach out and touch it! This type of VR experience is unmatched in giving your guests the feeling that they are truly experiencing a new world. Additionally, in Room Scale VR, users are free to move around in their virtual environment, and you will need an 8-foot by 8-foot space to make sure your guests are getting the full effect (though some experiences allow you to use a 6-foot by 6-foot space if a larger area is not available).

Room Scale VR requires the newest in virtual reality technology, and is the most advanced, interactive event activation on the market. In a Room Scale VR experience, guests are able to interact with virtual objects using motion-tracked controllers. When you move your hand in a Room Scale VR experience, you will actually be able to see it move in VR, so, for example, picking up or dropping an item in virtual reality feels just like you're doing it in the real world.

Even though only one person can use the headset at a time, you never have to worry about leaving anyone out as we can easily output what the guest is seeing in VR to a TV or LED wall. This allows for the VR experience to be shared with other guests, giving it a larger visual presence and attracting others to join in on the fun.

What is 360 VR?

Compared to Room Scale VR, 360 VR is a more relaxed experience for your guests because the 360 videos typically require the attendee to be seated. Some of the most popular 360 VR videos are those that put the guest in a real-world location, which can be anywhere from Mt. Everest, the Rainforest, or even looking down at Earth from Space. We also have plenty of 360 games and puzzles for a unique VR experience. In total, we have over 30,000 360 VR experiences available, and we’re focused on helping you find the exact match for your next event.

The 360 VR experience requires less space than Room Scale, so it may be a good fit for you if you’re looking to fit a big VR experience into a smaller area. We will provide the headsets for the event pre-loaded with your chosen 360 content. In order to make 360 VR work at your next event, we suggest one 48-inch round tall boy table for every three or four chairs and we will also need access to power.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROOM SCALE VR AND 360 VR?

The easiest way to understand the difference between a 360 VR and a Room Scale VR experience is to compare two VR experiences: Mt. Everest and Google's Tilt Brush.

In the Mt. Everest 360 VR experience, your point of view is from the head of a mountaineer climbing up Mount Everest. While seated, you can look up, down, and all around, but you aren’t in charge of the climb. Instead, you’re along for the ride as you ascend the mountain and experience the awe the sights and sounds provide.

A Room Scale VR experience, however, allows you to move around more freely in the virtual world and actually control your experience. For instance, in Google's Tilt Brush, you control a paintbrush that allows you to paint wherever you want in your virtual environment using a range of different colors, patterns, and textures. You can walk from one side of the space to the other, and you can scale your area in or out to look at your work from different angles.

There are two main differences between Room Scale VR and 360VR, the first being the ability to move around in room Scale VR. Second is the image quality, with Room Scale VR incorporating more advanced headsets that allow for a more distinct, seamless visual experience.

WHAT IS POSSIBLE When RENTING VR?

In short, anything. We have seen companies use VR equipment rentals to take their guests to a virtual carnival, let them explore the ocean’s depths, take out a horde of zombies, race down a mountain on a dirt bike, test their light saber skills, and many, many more. Even with all of the event experiences we’ve helped create, we are excited to come up with new ideas that are tailored specifically to your company. We believe that the power of VR for events is that you not only get to incorporate it as a profitable event activation, but that you also are creating an experience that your guests have likely never seen before, and one that they will definitely never forget. How often do you get to say that!?

VR Rental FAQ

VR Rental FAQ

What’s the difference between room scale VR and 360 VR?

Room Scale VR

Our room Scale VR offers a much more immersive VR experience than its counterpart 360 VR. In room scale VR, guests have the ability to move around in an 8-foot by 8-foot space while interacting with virtual objects. Whether you want to become a space pirate, visit a virtual carnival, or test your skills as a professional quarterback, our catalog of over 3,000 room scale experiences allow us find the perfect fit for you and your guests.

360 VR

The 360 VR experience offers your guests a relaxed, seated virtual reality experience. While wearing a virtual reality headset, attendees experience real-world video of actual locations from around the world, whether a trip to the bottom of the ocean or climbing Mount Everest. In addition to our real world experiences, we offer access to 360 games and puzzles.

Yes, we can accommodate some outdoor events as long as the following criteria are met:

Tent provided (regardless if inclement weather is expected or not)

Flat area established

Power provided

Is Wi-Fi required for VR rentals?

No, the majority of virtual reality experiences do not require Wi-Fi. If you select one that does, we will let you know

Are you local?

We’re headquartered in Austin, TX, but our team members are stationed throughout the United States and Canada ready to execute your event.

Can we rent a VR and have you just ship us the equipment?

360 VR

While most folks looking to have a 360 VR experience at their event contract with us to provide them with on-site technicians, staffing is optional for 360 VR event experiences. If you decide to host the 360 VR experience internally, we will provide your team with a PDF that walks you through how to prepare and use said devices., as well as technical support via phone and email.

Room Scale VR

VirtualRealityRental.co works hard to provide the best experience for your event attendees. With that in mind, we feel it is paramount that we provide a seamless process from beginning to end. This starts with the pre-event strategy and continues through to the equipment rental process, implementation, and breakdown. For this reason, we don’t ship the equipment to an event organizer.

Our professional staff is also an integral part of the VR experience. The hardware involved require technicians that understand the technology and know how to fix things if something goes wrong. The last thing we want to do is ship a bunch of equipment for your event and then have things go wrong when a problem occurs and no one knows how to fix it. We work with you from beginning to end to make sure that the event goals and themes are met and exceeded, and we then deliver the ultimate VR experience to you and your attendees.

VirtualRealityRental.co focuses on providing a premium service to give your event attendees an amazing experience. We want you to feel 100% confident in our professional staff so you know you can rely on us.

Every planner wants to ensure that their attendees have the best experience possible. It’s obvious that VirtualRealityRental.co feels the same way. We added VR to our event at the very last minute and the staff at VirtualRealityRental.co made it happen. The preplanning was easy and the onsite staff was professional and ensured that our attendees had a great time. I welcome the opportunity to work with them again.
